 ATLANTA, Ga., April 28.-The interstate commission met at 10 o'clock this morning. The attendance of visitors was not so large as on the first day.

Hall, 8 lawyer from Dallas, Texas, demurred. He represented some farmers, and that the mass of then were unrerresented only because they hac faith that the commission would do justice.
